Frankly the writing is very hard for reading..... but what I can read about "C.S.M. E. " is that "S. M. E. = "Sancta Mater Ecclesia ( litterally Saint Church Mother) and shortly:
Onofrius Mautone ved.(widow of) Anna Janiro.......... (illegible) in (=in) C.S.M.E. ( C. Sancta Mater Ecclesia ) animum etc.... in domo propria;( litterally: it has rendered the spirit to God in own house= it is died in own house) ... also are wrote that "cujus corpus"( the late's body) is buried in the church of saint Giovanni Battista and the legal heir is.... ( a illegible name)... the act is made for a wedding in 18( it seems) August 1818..

My eyes must be getting older than I am! Missed C.S. M. E. @ abbreviation site. I did check there first, it's in "my favorites." I even tried printing the document for a reference @ FHC, but only prints sections and alignment is off.

What is really strange is the document says he is a widower of Anna "Janiro"/ Savino. Same marriage process papers provided her death record in 1764. Going to have to make sure I didn't read it wrong!

Hi, about

is the document says he is a widower of Anna "Janiro"/ Savino.

I read so, but also is possible that I'm in error .. really no very good from reading the handwriting... regards, suanj

Actually, I too thought that was what it said. The dates are clearly printed out, not just handwrtten, so I know that he died in 1752 & his wife died in 1764. Hopefully, someone else comes a long and can read it better!

Maria, Thanks so much for posting the larger image. We sure keep you busy with all our postings. You are a trooper. You are going to have to teach me how to do it sometime. I hate imposing on you all the time, but I will send this to you by email. Hopefully you can post a better image.
